Chapter 221: Show off your binoculars
"Father, the son helped you solve the Xiongnu envoys at once, and also found out the traitors who collaborated with the enemy and treason, should you express it?"
Xiao Zhengtai's thumb and index finger rubbed rapidly, revealing a philistine expression.
Ying Zheng didn't know what this gesture meant.
But he knew that every time this kid made this gesture, he was asking him for benefits, so he pretended to be confused, "You are the prince of my Great Qin, these are all your duties, and I have written down your credit!" ”
Then he didn't give Xiao Zhengtai a chance to refute, so he quickly stretched his waist and pretended to be tired and said: "After tossing for so long, if all the secretaries are fine, go back!" ”
"Wechen retires ......!"
The ministers gave up one after another, and when Yingzheng got up and went to the apse, they gradually withdrew from the Qilin Palace.
Xiao Zhengtai glanced at the box that the soldier was about to carry away, smiled indifferently, and followed behind Yingzheng lightly!
But as soon as he walked not far away, he was discovered by Yingzheng, "I have said it, I remember the merits of my son, don't worry about these boxes of treasures!" ”
"Now that the two countries are at war, there are many places to use money, and once the reform is implemented, they will have to pay salaries to those retired ministers, and everything is money!"
"There is also the imperial examination, which also costs money, although your kid's idea is good, it has increased a lot of expenses for Daqin!"
It didn't take Xiao Zhengtai to open his mouth, he already knew the purpose of this kid.
It's nothing more than thinking about the gold, silver and jewelry that were found in the official post!
However, Xiao Zhengtai blinked a pair of innocent big eyes, took out a stick like a bamboo pole from his arms like a trick, fiddled with it in his hand, and said while fiddling: "Father, the son is not worried about this money, the son is about to leave the palace, while there is still some time, I want to accompany my mother more, my mother's palace is the closest to my father's bedroom, so we just happen to be on the same road!" ”
Seeing what Xiao Zhengtai was fiddling with, he immediately attracted Yingzheng's curiosity.
This kid has a very high vision, and it is absolutely impossible for him to fiddle with a stick all day long like other children, let alone carry it in his arms!
What can let him put in his arms must be something rare!
"Feiyu, this ...... What is it? ”
Ying Zheng squatted down and watched Xiao Zhengtai twist back and forth in his hand suspiciously, and finally put it on his eyes.
"This one, this one is called a telescope, and it can move everything we see now to our eyes......!"
Xiao Zhengtai pointed his telescope at a pavilion on the mountain in the distance, adjusted the distance, and said to Ying Zheng with a smile: "Father, can you see the pavilion on the mountain in front of you?" ”
"Well, that pavilion is on a hill in the northwest corner of the Imperial Garden, and it's best to escape the heat in midsummer!"
Ying Zheng nodded.
He has lived in the palace for most of his life, and it can be said that there is no place in the palace that he has not been!
"Father may be able to see how many people are inside?"
"Haha, you kid, such a distant hill, even the gazebo is only so small, it's impossible to see people clearly!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand, thinking he was messing around.
"Father, you can use this to take a look again!"
Xiao Zhengtai handed over the binoculars.
He has already adjusted the focus, as long as this scumbag dad puts it on his eyes, it is guaranteed to surprise him!
"Good!"
was curious about this stick, so the kid handed it over, and Ying Zheng naturally didn't say a word, and looked over as he looked before.
"What?"
Ying Zheng only glanced at it, then took off the telescope and blinked vigorously.
After discovering that the hill didn't really move in front of him, he put the telescope on his eyes again!
"How is this possible!"
Putting on the binoculars, the hill suddenly moved under his nose again.
I took down the telescope again, rubbed my eyes vigorously, and looked again, the hill was still in its original position!
Using the telescope again, the hill ran in front of me again!
Tossed back and forth a few times, Yingzheng almost went crazy!
"What did my father see?"
Looking at this old thing's stupid behavior, Xiao Zhengtai couldn't help but laugh.
"The two little palace maids are wiping the dust in the gazebo, and there is a copper basin on the steps next to it, and the water in the copper basin is a little dirty!"
Ying Zheng briefly described the scene in the pavilion, and on an old face, it was difficult to hide the shock.
"That's right, Erchen's is called a telescope, which can bring things in the distance closer, and the distance can be adjusted freely, which is very convenient to use!"
Xiao Zhengtai made a twisting gesture and asked Yingzheng to try it himself.
I had just seen Xiao Zhengtai twisting back and forth, so after hearing this magical explanation, I immediately began to twist back and forth.
Sure enough, distant objects can move back and forth and look wherever they want!
"Great, with this thing, you can clearly observe the movement of the enemy army on the battlefield!"
Ying Zheng's face was happy, grinning, twisting the telescope back and forth, and turning in circles.
"Huh? There's a little eunuch over there who actually fell, haha! ”
"That little palace maid is holding pastries, it looks like she is going to Yuxiu Palace!"
"There are a lot of birds parked on the rockery over there......!"
Ying Zheng, who saw the telescope for the first time, played like a child, smiling all over his face.
"Father, you are really right, the last time I subdued Lingnan, my son used this telescope, and the effect was very ......!"
Seeing that this old man was in a good mood at this time, Xiao Zhengtai began his true purpose, "Alas! Erchen is interested in mass production, from building factories to recruiting craftsmen, and then to finding raw materials, the money used is not a little bit, think about it or forget it! ”
As he spoke, Xiao Zhengtai showed a very regretful expression.
"What? Never mind? How can that work? ”
Hearing what he said, Ying Zheng immediately took off the telescope that was playing happily, and his face was gloomy.
He just said that this thing is of great help to the military, and this kid actually said forget it?
With a telescope, you can control every move of the enemy army more clearly, make corresponding measures, and greatly increase the chance of victory, how can you calculate it?
"Not to mention anything else, just the winery and the steel mill have a lot of monthly income, besides, this expedition, a lot of artillery and ammunition have been produced, and the imperial court has paid for it, you kid dare to say that he didn't make a part of the profits?"
He may still believe others who say that there is no money, but this kid says that there is no money, which is absolutely impossible.
I don't believe it if I kill you!
"Father, don't you know, there are too many people under the hands of the sons and daughters, and the daily expenses are the same as running water, not to mention anything else, just the Flying Eagles, the monthly salary is 3......0,000 gold, how can the sons and daughters not earn a little more?"
Xiao Zhengtai was upright, and counted it with his fingers, "Although the steel mill makes money, it has to buy iron ore from the imperial court, and when the steel is sold to the imperial court, it will be discounted, and after removing labor and costs, the sons and daughters will not make money at all!" ”
"And the people are suffering, it is not easy to fill their stomachs, and the sons and daughters can't make their money, don't look at the scale of the steel mill is constantly expanding, but they can't make any money at all!"
"The newspaper has always lost money to make money for the imperial court, and my father knows this!"
"Now that the winery can still make some money, and I have to give dividends to my father and several ministers, and the rest of the ministers can use it to support these craftsmen under their hands, which is simply clumsy!"
"I have a little spare money to study some new things that Master once gave me, all of them are money, alas, ......! It's really hard for Erchen! ”
As he spoke, tears suddenly flashed in Xiao Zhengtai's eyes, as if he was about to fall out.
Coupled with the face that resembles South Korea's little Zhengtai, it looks very aggrieved!
